Proverbs22:9
9 He that hath a bountiful eye, shall be blessed: for he giveth of his bread to the poor.
Heb. A good eye. He who looks upon the wants and miseries of others with compassion and kindness, as this Phrase is used, Mat. 20. 15. as an evil eye is put for one that beholds others with envy and unmercifulness, Deut. 15. 9. Prov. 23. 6. & 28. 22.
Both by God and Men.
Marginal references: 2 Cor. 9. 6.; Heb. good of eye.
